Learn to say no


    Marium is struggling following her dreams ,

Just because she doesn't know how to say no to the neighbor who tells her to choose science instead of arts,


Her parents ask her why doesn't she wants to be lawyer,

 Or a doctor,

Because being a poet doesnt gets you a dollar,


Marium tries to convince them and tries to teach them the art of poetry,

BUT,poetry won't give you enough money,

But Marium just couldn't get herself saying no


So Marium studies medical and wastes four years of her life,

She apologized to herself,

And after years of yes she learned how to say no,


She became a poet and lived a simple but happy life,

And proved everybody wrong who said ‘Money makes you happy’
